Monkey Business
By Lisa Elton
Shiver me timbers, there’s a whole lot of monkey business happening on today’s card! My little band of pirate monkeys have found their dream treasure on a tiny deserted island. No doubloons or pieces of eight for them, but this booty is pure gold nonetheless!
Being the fancy monkey pirates they are, they needed decorative hats! A lovely floral for the captain and soft blue plaids for her crew.
Using die cuts from the Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit, I created the ship using kraft and brown cardstocks. The crow’s nest, anchor and porthole where cut from kraft as well, then colored with a Copic marker. Lady pirates require a fancy sail!
Next came the components for the deserted island. They were made using the Whittle Tropical Gator Kit. The puffy clouds came from the Whittle Unicorn Kit. I love the way all of the whittle kits play together!
I think this captain has a couple of swashbucklers on her hands, just look at their antics! Scuttlebutt has it that they like to partake in their banana daiquiris!
I cut oodles of the little bananas, leaving some single and turning others into bunches. A Copic maker was used on the tips. The card base was a simple blue with ink blending for the water, splash and sand.
Thanks for taking a peek today. It’s time for me to weigh anchor and set sail for my next card adventure, savvy?

Hi Lisa, This is a beautiful ‘scene’ card.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Your commentary is just as cute as those monkeys, Lisa. Very creative on both accounts.
Those kits are so much fun and I love the pirate scene you created, Lisa!!
The dude with the eye-patch gets the prize today! OH, this is cuter than I could have imagined!

I’ll bet you smiled the whole time you were working on this, Lisa! What a fun card and those monkeys look like they can be a handful! Hopefully all those bananas will keep them in check if not the banana daiquiris!
🙂 This made me smile, Lisa. Adorable card with showing the monkey’s and their antics. 🙂 xx
What a fabulous scene with lots of monkey business! I love the way you combined those wonderful die sets to create it. Os. Much. Fun!
